Regional actors Goran Bogdan and Leona Paraminski discuss careers and controversies
Actor Goran Bogdan has addressed allegations regarding a business connection with Serbian Minister Dubravka Đedović-Handanović. Bogdan clarified that the company Kultur Istra was established on May 10, prior to Đedović-Handanović becoming a minister on October 27. He stated that the venture was intended to create a cultural space, including an amphitheater for performances and residencies, rather than a commercial business. Bogdan emphasized that his political views are diametrically opposed to the current ruling administration in Serbia.
In a separate profile, actress Leona Paraminski discussed her career trajectory and her decision to move to the United States. After reaching a peak in her regional career, she relocated to support her husband's postdoctoral studies. Paraminski reflected on the challenges of starting from scratch in America and her recent return to the regional film scene, noting her experiences working with directors such as Danis Tanović and Dragan Bjelogrlić.
